Chiefs release KeiVarae Russell

[RunKC]

Rand Gettlin-I'm told the #Chiefs have released defensive back KeiVarae Russell. Special teams numbers game. Super talented player. Likely to be claimed.

WOW

But you could see what some really good pussy tastes like. You should reconsider.

Stick to gifs and videos because your football acumen is worse than Walter Football.

Nah, he'll want to play a big role. Will probably sign on a crappy team somewhere that he can get early snaps.

All teams have misses on high draft picks.

Packers cut 2nd rd pick Jerel Worthy and 3rd rd pick Khyri Thornton.
Pats got rid of 1st rd pick Dominique Easely.
Broncos 2nd rd pick Montee Ball is in freaking jail and their other 2nd rd pick Cody Latimer is a ST's player doing nothing on offense.
Steelers cut 3rd rd pick Sean Spence

People are obliterating Dorsey on radio. My god.

I hate derailing a thread on the basis of Clay, but he's not wrong on Ehinger just yet IMO. The guy hasn't looked very good. I openly bashed the pick when it was made, citing that strength would be a huge issue for him and it is. Ehinger is one of those 3-year evaluations though. Like LDT and Fisher, he's going to need a couple years in the weight room before we know for sure. My problem is, he's starting right now and he is the weak link on the O-line.

As for Tyreek Hill, we'll have to just see how he progresses through the season. Speed isn't everything in the NFL. I've never had high hopes for any receiver under 5'10" and statistics back up that they are seldom successful.

“Listen, it happens,” Reid said, when asked how difficult it is to move on from such a high pick this early. “I don’t sweat over it either way. I mean, it happened. We’re going to be okay.”

Part of the reason Reid said that is the promising play of White, the rookie cornerback who was taken three rounds after Russell but flashed in the preseason. During his lone play Sunday, White read a screen and drilled the receiver, Travis Benjamin, for a 2-yard loss.

“Twenty-four (D.J. White), he’s been playing pretty good, so that’s a positive thing,” Reid said. “Every one of those (picks), they kind of balance out and you go from there.”

Reid reiterated that while it obviously did not work out with Russell, there are no hard feelings from team’s point-of-view, and even left the door open for a return. As a rookie, the 22-year-old will be eligible for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

“I wish him the best of luck,” Reid said of Russell. “I mean, he’s a good kid. And you know never know. In this business, he could be back here. So we’ll see.”

I would be ok with humbling his ass by putting him on the practice squad. I wouldn't be hurt if he wasn't brought back though.

Clay being Clay just ****ing discuss football and not troll. If ya want to troll, go to ****ing Twitter clown.

While we're giving rep out, props to kccrow for calling his guy DJ White. He hyped him up a lot before the draft and White is clearly a guy who looks like he could be a nice player.

I like our 4 young corners of Peters, Gaines, Nelson and White. Don't draft a CB in the first 3 rds. Use those picks on QB, OLB and WR.

You'd be ecstatic, doing cartwheels, humming "Victory March."

Were any of those players cut in Week 1 of their rookie seasons, or were they given a shot and then cut?

Thanks for taking my call, I'll hang up and listen.

Chiefs threw numbers at the cb position. Russell is simply the odd man out thanks to the trade for Acker and DJ White earning his active roster spot. I'm glad the Chiefs made the decision based on what they saw on the field rather than their draft position. I see this more as an indication of how much DJ White has pleasantly surprised and confidence in Gaines health than Russell being a terrible player.

Ehinger is a 4th round rookie that's been given a chance to start at left guard and grow into the position. He's played one professional game and while he needs to increase his strength, it's better that he gain experience than to sit on the bench.

Steve Smith, Wes Welker and countless other slot receivers disagree

Hopefully we are trading for Sean Smith.
